        Puerarin alleviates chronic renal failure-induced pyroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells by targeting miR-342-3p/TGF-β/SMAD axis

        Yang Jing,Li Baochao,Wang Jiangming,Fan Wenxing 한국유전학회 2023 Genes & Genomics Vol.45 No.12

        Background Chronic renal failure (CRF) is the result of kidney damage. Puerarin is a flavonoid with specific nephroprotective effect, but its effect on CRF needs further research. This study explored the effect of puerarin on CRF and the potential molecular mechanism. Methods Adenine was used to establish an in vivo CRF model in rats, and rats were intragastrically administered with puerarin at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight once a day from day 1 to day 28. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson staining were used to observe the morphology and fibrosis of kidney tissue. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (400 ng/mL)/H2O2 (200 µM) was applied to human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells to construct an in vitro CRF model. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to validate interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect microRNA (miR)-342-3p levels. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)1, SMAD2, SMAD3, and pyroptosis marker proteins were detected by Western blot. The interaction between miR-342-3p and TGF-β/SMAD was determined by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was utilized to determine cell viability. Results In the CRF model, puerarin alleviated renal injury and fibrosis and reduced creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. At the same time, miR-342-3p was downregulated, while the TGF-β/SMAD axis was activated and levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were increased. After treatment of CRF rats with puerarin, the expression level of miR-342-3p was increased, the TGF-β/SMAD axis was inhibited, and the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 was decreased. MiR-342-3p directly bound to and negatively regulated the expression of TGF-β1, SMAD2, and SMAD3. In the in vitro CRF model, miR-342-3p inhibited HK-2 cell pyroptosis by inhibiting the TGF-β/SMAD axis. Conclusion Puerarin reduced renal injury and pyroptosis in CRF rats by targeting the miR-342-3p/TGF-β/SMAD axis.
